Sounds Like"...this young North East band have earned a reputation as one of the most entertaining live acts and unlike a lot of other entertaining bands, they actually have good songs as well..."
BBC Live Review

"I wasn't there to see Zapped By A Million Volts, but it was them who stole the show, a quartet with plenty of punch in the garage rock stakes...and are definately a band I would recommend."
Drowned In Sound Live Review

"...bright and brittle (and crystal clear) guitars to the fore.....their sound in between the surf-rock mayhem of Man or Astroman, the No-Wave stop-start of Ex-Models and the melodic Punk of The Buzzcocks"
Artrocker

"...the Teesside trio's as full of frustrated youth and dreams of stardom as Jonny Borrell... Juddering Buzzcocks guitars and a desperation to get to the chorus as soon as possible... Shockingly good? Absolutely"
John Earls, Planet Sound, Channel 4 Teletext

"....buzz along at a pretty brisk pace themselves, again getting their kicks from sharp corners and spikey guitar licks...."
